Hey at least I'm an option right?

Alright so everyone knows the game Marry, Fuck, Kill. (For those of you with no sense of fun in your life it’s when someone names three people and you have to choose which of them you would Marry, Fuck, or Kill. And for the record, go have fun and live a little, you’re depressing me.)  

While playing this game with friends, a guy friend told me that I will always be the Marry choice for anyone who knows me and gets me as an option. This struck me as odd because 1- I never realized I came up as an option in this game

2- Still pretty stoked people talk about me when I’m not around and

3- Why is this the case?

Is it because I’m not annoying enough to get tossed into the river after being tied poorly in a trash bag? Or is it because my appearance is screaming “I have not showered today nor do I plan on partaking in that event”? I’m going to assume being chosen as the Marry option is a silly, although, sweet little compliment. It means that people see me more than just a boning sesh and actually enjoy my company enough to want to “marry” me. I’ll take it. Even hypothetically.

Here’s the thing. I want to get married. I do. But not right now. Not when my life still feels like a choose your own adventure book. The thing is, lots of guys think marriage means the end of fun and freedom. The loss of not being able to pursue girls that are worthless yet sexy and slutty is the ultimate sacrifice. (It’s funny because boys make it so easy to weed out the douche bags. Oh you’re hitting on the obviously slutty girl? Great. I’ll just go talk to your friend who actually keep up with my wit.) Marriage for me is just an out loud declaration that I get to hang out and be awesome with my best friend forever. In my mind, marriage is just kind of like wearing friendship bracelets that announce to the world that no one else is as cool as the person I get to wake up to every morning. So why is marriage seen as a bad thing by some guys? I mean, if you got to hang out with an awesome girl who is hilarious and wants to make your life easier every day, wouldn’t you jump on that opportunity? Marriage just means you get to be awesome forever together.

And if you still want to bang randos or hit on yet another slutty blonde girl at the bar, no one is stopping you. Especially the amazing girl you let go because you thought you could do better. (Trust me, you can’t)

You will always regret letting go the one you weren’t ready for because you were scared. And when you realize she’s the girl you want to end up with, she’s going to be with the guy who didn’t miss his chance.
